Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 85.8/100, a mean average of 84.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.9/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.2.

I get that Pink Floyd is great but that's a bit fan-boyish too put them back to back like that lol. Nice list anyway.

Oh yes, you understand the magic of Trespass! Greatest album of all time, no doubt. Nice inclusion of "Script for a Jester's Tear" by Marillion, too. The title track is a bit of a Genesis rip-off but it's a tour de force nonetheless. You should check out some early Van Der Graaf Generator albums if you haven't before. I think you'd enjoy them a lot. "The Least We Can Do is Wave to Each Other" has a dark and visceral energy not unlike Trespass, but with more of a gothic sci-fi horror theme as opposed to pastoral melancholy.

Love the chart. Some great albums apart from the usual culprits. Good to see some PJ Harvey, Nightwish, & My Morning Jacket in there as well as 'Sleeping with Ghosts' from Placebo. Very under rated album in my book.
